The John Muir Magnet School for Global Citizenship offers a curriculum designed to build responsible and productive global citizens who are prepared to become leaders in their community. the K-12 grade span and small class size promotes a family atmosphere in a personalized learning environment. Through Paideia learning strategies, students are challenged to analyze, to question, and to think critically. Cultural awareness is stressed through an expanded social science program that includes communication and collaboration with students in other counties. School-wide programs address the skills and knowledge needed to understand worldwide traditions. True to our name, John Muir also addresses the challenges of protecting and enhancing the environment.

Muir staff recognizes the importance of on-going professional development in order to meet the needs of all students.
